THE VANDALIA DEAL
Henry Ives Talks About tho Now Sea.
Board Line.

HGA'
Board Line.
New YORK, June 8.-The World SAYS:
"Henry S. Ives, the newly-elected president
of the Vandalia system, re1ched home yes
terday from the West. This purchase said
Mr.. Ives, gives a line from St. Louis to the
sea-board, via the Vandalia, Cincinnati,
Hamilton & Dayton, the Dayton 6, Iroaton,
and the Baltimore & Ohio, of Se4 mics, a:
against 954 via the Vandalia and Pennsyl-
vania lines. The Dayton & Ironton
and the Dayton and Chicago
have been consolidated under the
name Of the Dayton, Fort Wayne & Chicago
This line is virtually owned by the Cincin-
natl, Hamilton & Dayton, with which, dur.
ing this month, it will be consolidated. The
Dayton & IrontOn is building line through
the Hooking valley coal fields to a Junction
with the Baltimore & OHIO Then the In.
dianapOlis division of the Cincinnati, Hamil-
ton & Dayton will be built to Liberty, a dis.
tance of thirty eight miles, when all the links
in this chain of roads will be complete BY
this arrangement the Baltimore & Ohio
will get through air line to and from st.
Louis"
The general impression among railroad
men is that the Baltimore & Ohio is to be
prominently linked with the future of the
Pennsylvania, and as regards st. Louis this
hinges largely on the concessions this company
is willing to make the Baltimore &.
Ohio in the matter of the latter:
New York and Philadelphia connection.
Should the Pennsylvania connection
with the Vandalia be actually severed its
means of reaching this city other than by
the construction of an independent line are
not first-cass The Indianapolis & Vincanaes
and the Indianapolis, Decatur q Springfield
are many miles longer, and by reason
of rOughness render fast running
dangerous. The Bee Line is quite out Of tie
question, as an intense rivalry exists between
tie two roads. II is even whispered that
The Bee Line is at the bottom of the
whole trouble. In short, should il
transpire that tie Pennsylvania has
been outwitted and will be deprived by
the Baltimore & Ohio of its immense western
business over the Vandalia, the construction
of an Independent road to this city would
appear to be the sole resource.

The War in the Building Trades.

BosToN, Mass, June 10.-There is no
longer any doubt that the great struggle be-
tween employers and employees in the build
ing trades will begin at once. The demand
of the master builders that their
union employees shall work with non-union
men, if required, will be met 10y absolute re-
fusal. Leading men in the Amalgamated
Building Trades union who were seen yester-
day said emphatically that the point
would never be yielded while their
union existed. The council Of the union will
meet to-day to consider the master builders
communication. but there is no doubt its
suggestion viii be scOrned. Members of the
council say they have no doubt that strikes
and lock-outs will begin at once, and within
two weeks they viii become widespread.
The union men credit the master builders
with determination to make decisive fight
on the issue raised.

Probability That the Great Strike Will
BE Settled TO-Day-The Printers'
Convention.

CHICAGO, June 10.-The brick-layers and
master masons have finally agreed to settle
their trouble by arbitration. The brick-lay-
ers last night, at meeting, appointed COM
mttee OF five to arbitrate with the master
masons, and this committee is vested with
full power to settle the matter as it may
deem best, the union TO abide by any agree
ment made. The committee is composed Of
A. Vorkeller, president of the union; r. Ire
bush, john Pearson, P j. Lundgren, and P.
J. Mineter. Several days ago the master
masons appointed an arbitration committee,
and conference was held with committee
of the brick-layers, but no settlement was
agreed upon. The committee was composed
OF George Chambers, R. E. Moss. William A.
Barton, Joseph Downey, George Lehman,
and John NJ. DunphY. 1t is thought that
this same committee viii act for the master
masons at the meeting to be held at Greene

tident that the trouble will be satisfactorily
settled to-day.

TO TEST THE LAW.
a Great Fight to BE Made Against the
Interstate Commerce Commission.


WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE constitutions
atty Of The Interstate Commerce law is to
be tested by the railroads shortly. The
claim viii be made that the act itself is not
constitutional, and that its enforcement adds
an additional ground for the courts setting it
aside. No action will be taken until the
Commission announces definitely what lis
policy viii be upon the fourth section of the
act. The alleged illegal manner of execll-
ton relates to the titles OF the Com
missioners to the Offices 1t will be
urged that the Commissioners have not been
confirmed by the Senate, and that conse-
quentIy their acts are void. Tle point
is made that the terms of the Interstate
Commerce act itself require that the Com
missioners should have been confirmed by
the Senate before they could act, and that
aside from the terms of that act, inasmuch
as the offices are new offices, and not vacan
cieS, they can not be filled except by and
with the consent of the Senate. This point
is based upon the provision of the constitu-
ton which provides ii effect that the Presi-
dent shall nominate, and by and with the
consent of the Senate shall appoint all o4Ii-
GERS OF the United States whose appoint
ments shall-be established by law. The rail
roads which are interested in this movement
are closely united in the matter, and the list
does not, of course, include those for which
the long and short haul clause has been
